PHP $_SESSION Expiring in IE 6/*

Taz
comp.lang.php,

I have recently launched the new Planet-Tolkien.com, one would think
that writing a message board from scratch and a dynamic weather
system, a simple session login would be the least of my problems
right? Wrong.

It would appear that for Mozilla and Opera keep a $_SESSION is not an
issue and the $_SESSION is continued until the member logs out.
However when members are using Internet Explorer browser (most
versions it seems), they can go around the site for varied amounts of
time, usually less than five minutes and then their $_SESSION will
expire!!??

I cannot for the life of me figure out why a server side $_SESSION
would expire on IE but not for MOZ or Opera but it is, and I need to
figure out why and how can I fix this.

REF. All login information is saved as such:

session_save_path("$path/sessions");
session_start(); $_SESSION['session_memberID']=$session_memberID;
$_SESSION['session_username']=$session_username;
$_SESSION['session_groupID']=$membergroup;

In Fellowship,
Tarrant
